I've thought of Derek often over years.
Regret not keeping in touch.
Just found out last week of his passing.
Been thinking a lot of what could have been.
Miss you Derek,
Mary

Those we love don't go away,
they walk beside us every day,
unseen; unheard;
but always near.
Still loved; still missed;
and very dear.
Rest In Peace Grandpa

my dad (fader) was a complicated man,
he lived with Eddy and I for the last 15 years and we had our ups and downs, but through all the good times and bad he was still my father and i loved him
i will miss hearing that cluk cluk shuffle of him walking around the house, i am still listening for it and i guess in time i will sleep better and try not to listen for him shuffling around.
love the old fart miss the old fart
wendy and eddy

Circumstances being what they were Dad and I didn't have much contact until I was grown. But in a way I felt lucky because I had no negative baggage to sort through with him. He was always very good to me. What memories I have I will carry in my heart. I wrote this poem for him the day he died.
My father
Had a temper
He was filled with passion
I get that from him
I suppose
My father
Never learned
To curb his anger
It ruled him, pushed him
Pushed people away from him
My father
Was absent
For most of my childhood
And that was probably
A good thing
My father
Was also a good man
He cared about people,
Took care of them when he could,
Tried to do the right thing
My father
Was complicated, messy
Opinionated and bossy
And when he loved
It was with his whole heart
My father
Died today
Just a few days before
One more birthday
We never spent together
My father
Could have been a better man
I could have been a better daughter
But this is the world
We stumble, and try to hold each other's hands

U D was the coolest Uncle a niece could ask for. There are a lot of good memories from my childhood till present. Times when he'd come visit at the old stone house & bring my cousins for the weekend, to our many trips out to Montauk ~ U D would always put his feet in the water regardless of how cold it was. Our trips to St John, USVI were always a lot of fun. He loved the Islands ~ Cinnamon Bay & Trunk Bay ~ And Skinny Legs for a burger & a beer. I'll always remember my wedding day when U D walked me down the plank as he put it. Joe would always kid around with U D about how his eyesight improved when a bikini passed by. Love Always & Forever ~ Carol, Joe & Nichole

His name is Derek Wrathall but I know him as "Buglugs" - my brother. Six years my senior and he never let me forget it throughout the years. We tussled lots until our age of reasoning then we became friends and learned how to enjoy each others company. Many trips to different places and lots of fun. Then as the years passed, travels lessened and we did not see each other as often as had been as in younger years. Now he has gone on a trip by himself leaving me to follow at some future date - til we meet again Buglugs - I love you.
